'Getting Started with Your First Nature Journal' was originally created as part of my Nature with Lotti series - my creative space for sharing easy ways to enjoy nature through art and observation.

It now lives here at Lotti Brown Designs, where I continue to share nature-inspired art and journaling ideas.

What's inside?

  • Simple ways to begin your first nature journal
  • What you need
  • Sketching and writing ideas for beginners
  • Tips for building a personal connection with nature
  • Encouragement to create your own way - no rules, no pressure

It can be a bit confusing when you're just getting started so I've tried to simplify things and let you know only what's essential while still giving you different options so you've got the freedom to nature journal in your own way.

Nature journaling is such a personal thing as it's about our own relationship with nature - and we all end up nature journaling in our own unique way...

But it's very helpful to get some pointers to help you out and give you some ideas and inspiration so that you can just get started whenever you want!
